I think this is their "extensive beta and data collection period". Just using the entire iOS 6 customer base as the experimental set. If so that's an unfortunate abuse of their customers' trust, and will hand a big advantage to Google. As you say there were many options like releasing a standalone test first to run in parallel with the google app, but perhaps because of hubris they were not explored, and so customers have had an unexpected downgrade on an app which is widely used. |
